Artist Biography

Abhas Kumar Ganguly, popularly known as Kishore Kumar, was the youngest born in his family. While his older brother, Ashok Kumar, was a successful actor, Kishore preferred to sing and make a career with his singing skills.

His energetic voice greatly impressed S D Burman, who heard Kishore during one of his visits to Ashok Kumar. SD Burman immediately signed Kishore Kumar.

After the demise of S D Burman, his son, Rahul Dev Barman took over and openly favored Kishore over other singers of the time.

Kishore Kumar gave innumerable hit songs; some of his evergreen hits are Roop tera mastaana from the film Aaradhana, Dil aisa kisi ne from Amanush, Khaike paan banaraswala from Don, Pag ghunghroo baandh from Namak Halaal; for all of which he won the prestigious Filmfare Award.

Kishore Kumar was not only a great singer but also a versatile personality. He acted, produced, directed, and even wrote scripts and lyrics with equal ease.

Kishore married some of the most popular and attractive Bollywood actresses namely, Madhubala, Yogeeta Bali and Leena Chandavarkar. Kishore passed away rather unexpectedly on October 13, 1987, due to a cardiac failure.
